Episode Details

A new 50% tariff on Canadian goods—including hockey gear—starts August 19th, but don’t panic: most of the equipment you’ll buy isn’t made in Canada, so prices likely won’t jump. Retailers say season prices are already locked in, and since most gear is manufactured abroad, the tariff doesn’t hit the products you’re shopping for. While some see it as political leverage against Canada, the real fallout may be felt locally—fewer Canadians might cross the border for weekend trips, shopping, or dining, hurting communities that rely on cross-border commerce. It’s a reminder that trade policies ripple far beyond the goods themselves, affecting economies and relationships in unexpected ways.
